As long as he’s been around, man should know by now that violence solves nothin. Even so, men are wired to kick each other’s azz, by hook, by crook, or, by any means necessary.

Rarely do we get da low down when world leaders come together, to discuss worldly affairs. Often, we’re given a summary of whut went down, but rarely do we get a feel for who it is we’re talkin about. We see pictures of who these men are, how they dress, and bam! They’re gone!

It can be confusing, especially when you’re being told who you can like/trust, and, believe. People are split right down da middle, many, without a clue, of whut they can do, to make this a better world.

Among men, a more gentle, soft, sweet, emotion is needed, one which will off – set our need for violent resolutions. That’s my hope for the future.

Welcome to Brother Askari's Cultural/Historical website. This site is dedicated to the creativity, contributions, folklore, myths, legends, traditions, customs, language, and history of African Americans past and present. The pictures that appear on the site tell stories of the African American struggle for freedom and justice in America. The voices, which speak from the pictures, are poetic in their expressions of love, pain, joy, dreams, struggles, victories, defeats, and emotions of the African American spirit.
Having been born and raised in the segerated, deep south, I have chosen a mix of language styles that merges our past with our present. We must continue to tell our stories. We must continue to bring forth the pictures which tell their own stories. As a result, hopefully, we all will be elevated in our understanding of the African American struggle in America.
